Metal spectacle frame screws, the ones that clamp the lens in the frame
by closing the frame at the hinge end of the frame. So small
that they are hard to even get into the hole, partly because the hole
they go in is well down from the bottom of the side arm.

What is best for holding the screw itself when putting it into the hole ?
Tweezers are what I was looking at getting, but did find one of those
things with 4 spring steel wires that come out of a cylinder when you
press a plunger https://www.dropbox.com/s/xv9k6n3m12..._1918.PNG?dl=0

and wondered if there is anything even better that say you can press the
head into a sticky plastic end but which doesn't have any of the plastic
come off into the slot or star hole when you pull it off.

As has been said, magnetise the screwdriver by stroking it on a magnet.

Plastic stuff is called Blutack but remove it once the screw has just
started to bite. You can often remove small bits of Blutack with a
larger blob of the same and getting them to join together.
